Hah. A writer is only as good as what they write, and only as professional as how they write.

It actually really makes me question the competence of this publication that they are allowing such articles to represent them, and I have a mind to go to the editor and tell him exactly that.

This is the real world, and these decisions are irresponsible.


And wth, are people really discussing the greatness of hikki's music and whether she deserves it or not? My goodness, regardless of if you liked her or not, you should agree that nearly every aspect of her music is original and respectable, and obviously so in Japan.

Does anyone realise how big it is that she is an actual musician? And the fact that she's gained fame in a genre that commonly employs pretty girls with only big voices is amazing.

Lady Gaga actually reminds me of her, and I'm surprised that hikki never looked into a life of being a composer.

I think there's a very specific reason why the both of them are extremely successful, and I think it's the quality in their music that it's both original and smart, and also, enjoyable to listen to.
